Learning About Number Bonds for Kids

Help your child understand number bonds with our fun and engaging learning materials.  They are so easy to use and prepare!  These number bond activities will aid your kids, and students in understanding "Parts of a whole", basic addition, subtraction, and number recognition.  These will keep your little ones engaged as these learning materials encourage the use of manipulatives which promote hands-on learning and real-world experience in object manipulation and counting.


Each Number Bond set includes:

• number bond mat
• 55 number bond cards (decomposing numbers from 2 to 10)
• 55 number bond cards with one part missing
• recording sheets or activity sheets for older kids

You can reuse these materials repeatedly and it will grow with your kids or students.  The activity sheets I included in the learning pack will allow older children to record their work and practice more to enhance retention.


As mentioned earlier, using manipulatives is highly recommended, especially for preschoolers and younger children.  You can choose counters, glass nuggets, pebbles, erasers, or anything available.  We used real watermelon seeds in the watermelon-themed number bonds set we worked on last summer.



On some other occasions, we also worked with the same set using Montessori bead bars.



In the coming months, we will also use our Pumpkin Number Bonds set to accompany the Autumn/Fall/Halloween season.  Kids are pretty much inspired to work on activities that are in line with the seasons!


These learning packs are beautifully made and well thought out.  Your kids will love these! Don’t forget to check the instructions with the file, especially on the printing tips.  Here are the available number of bond themes in the shop:
